| Wrong On Energy |
|
|
| | "At a time when America is confronted by growing instability in the Middle East, we must now, more than ever, make achieving energy independence a top priority. It is a critical issue of both national and economic security." Official website |  | Donnelly and his Democrat leaders have failed to reveal their
secret "commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices." In the
face of a slowing economy and soaring cost of living, Donnelly and his fellow
Democrats rejected a call to force Speaker Pelosi to tell the American people
how she plans to relieve their pain at the pump (House Roll Call 211).
Donnelly voted for $6.5 billion in new taxes on American energy producers. Voted for higher energy prices for American consumers. Voted to stifle domestic energy production. And voted to increase America's dependence on foreign sources of energy. (House Roll Call 40)
Donnelly voted against a measure which would have required that
all energy bills be certified to prevent higher energy prices for
consumers. Donnelly also voted to allow for a
reduction of domestic energy supplies and an increase in foreign energy dependence. (House Roll Call 578) |

Lack of Fiscal Discipline
|
|
|
|
| "We have terrible waste in our -government that can be addressed right now." Official website |
|
Donnelly voted in lock-step with the liberal Democrat leadership to fund duplicitous pet projects over critical human intelligence. (House Roll Call 117)
Once elected, Donnelly voted against a motion that was intended to cut unidentified earmarks. (Roll Call Vote 71)Donnelly voted to allow hidden earmarks to be tucked into the Democrats??? SCHIP bill, despite his promise to be part of the ???most open Congress in history.??? (House Roll Call 902)
Donnelly and the Democrat leaders of the so-called, self-proclaimed ???most open Congress in history,??? have closed the door on any possibility for amendments or debate on a series of appropriations bills. As a result, 54 never before seen earmarks were stealthily placed into various appropriations bills at the expense of important funding for our troops, our veterans and hard working Americans. | |
Making College Affordable
|
|
|
|
"The last congress that he was part of voted to cut Pell Grant funding. I would not have."
- South Bend Tribune, 10/3/06 |
|
Donnelly voted against increasing college access and affordability for middle- to low-income students, against providing greater resources for Pell Grants, and against deficit reduction on behalf of taxpayers. (House Roll Call 31) | |

Donnelly continued to abdicate his duty to protect the American people and instead play political games by voting repeatedly to block a vote on the Senate?s bipartisan Protect America Act.
